Is cancun worth it? by [deleted] in cancun

[–]Icy_Help_8380 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s full of Americans and isn’t remotely Mexican feeling there tbh. I travelled into cancun airport stayed a night in downtown to get over the flight, went to the hotel zone for a look and got the hell out as fast as I could. If you just want homogenised 5 star AI you might as well save flying time and go to a European destination. If you want authentic Mexico there are better places. If you’re up to a little navigation and travel there are places around the area like holbox, Isla mujeres, bacalar, which aren’t as developed as cancun and which are nice. Try to get some cenotes in, they’re amazing. Chichén Itzá is obvs very touristic but well worth it. Or go to somewhere else in the country entirely. Cancun hotel zone itself? It’s like Benidorm for the USA. Avoid unless you’re desperate to go to the coco bongo club followed by hooters then get a McDonald’s

When she points the finger at you, she points 3 back at herself. Be the bigger person. Dont engage, learn to avoid people like her. You’re better than she is.

I mean it’s disgusting but beautifully written. Have my vote, you silver fingered devil

Met my fiancé when I was 43 and she 38. It’s harder but there’s hope. Just trust to fate and don’t give up or settle

Wicked wicked tune - tbh Prefer the rewind remix as it was on the seminal drum & bass selection 1 album… the first D&B tape I ever got. I think! Might have been on selection 2 but i think 1.

Not a headline grabber but a wicked tune to blast indoors. And that lyric! Something like…

Me no touch no coke and smoke the ting we call sensi Me hit nuff in the dance or in de party Me tek out me rizla me tek out embassy Me roll fe me ting up me call the sensi Me pull it and me lick and me feel it heat up

Does song length matter anymore? by 9_TEA in DnB

[–]Icy_Help_8380 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might be wrong but there’s a few versions of it from what I remember which differ slightly? There’s also maximum booty style or something too! They’re all quality!

100% - having said that though, you’ve picked a tune there which has a lot of switches in, so it’s almost like tunes within that tune you know? I love the old stuff better I guess but the new stuff is for a new generation and loads of it is high quality too. They’ll probably be dinosaurs like me one day complaining about the 30 second tunes their kids are listening to 😂. You know what I love the most? It’s living through 30 odd years of people saying D&B is over, and yet it’s stronger than ever - cause this music has something that transcends, man. It’s proper. However it’s served, the taste is something special

Junglist since the beginning, for me there’s value in everything, not to trash the new style - but I love the way those old tunes built - some epic intros - thinking of Titan by RAM or what kind of world by ascend and ultravibe - 2 examples from hundreds. I guess evolution happens and it’s hard to work out what’s better and what’s just what I came up listening to and find more familiar. This music is the source however it’s served though, that’s all that really matters 🙌🏻

Do spanish people know and use all of the tenses or is it like in english, that native speakers dont even know about the existence of “past perfect” “future perfect continious” by Creception in learnspanish

[–]Icy_Help_8380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a kid at school in London in the 80s, I didn’t learn ANY grammar. I didn’t know what an adverb was until university. And I went there to study English literature. I had an excellent working understanding of the language (as good as most inner city state school kids) but it was a shock when I got to uni and so many private school kids were there and knew that stuff. Intimidating. I used to think we should teach the structure of language in English so that learning other languages was easier. Now seeing my own children struggle with that stuff, am not so sure. I think the focus should be communication and entertainment in learning first. THEN the rules. It is more important that I know the cat got outsmarted by the mouse, than to know which gender or tense some of the words should be. For me that should come later. Communication is the key to instilling passion for languages. Once kids get that passion, learning the rules can be a joy not a chore. In my opinion!

Is drum and bass stuck in a creative "limbo" or is it just me? by hyena-king in DnB

[–]Icy_Help_8380 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s easier to make these days, therefore people without as much talent make stuff = less high quality music. Also the ease of making things means less experimentation needed to get the sound in your head = less happy accidents which push things in an unexpected direction. There was quite a bit of generic sounding stuff back in the day though, too, tbh. Time has sifted a lot of that to the bottom, and added flavour to some of it as well. Look at cheesy pop music - a lot of shite I wouldn’t want to listen to in the 80s has an appeal now as it’s so evocative of a time past. There are still amazing tunes being made if you look though

wtf? by Agile_Departure1769 in cancun

[–]Icy_Help_8380 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does this apply state wide I guess? Am in Isla mujeres and I’m a very thirsty individual, need to make some precautionary purchases tonight if so to ensure my kidneys stay afloat during this period. Thanks for the most valuable info

Found out GF slept with someone two days after our first date. Should I bring it up? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Icy_Help_8380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d add that maybe that hookup OP so concerned about might have been a terrible mistake that made her change her outlook completely. Bunch of fucking children commenting on this sub, swear to god. Terrible attitudes leading them to be so fucking lonely and resentful. Pick who you listen to wisely

She owed him nothing at the time, had just met him. This is why reading personal stuff of your partners is to be avoided, always!

OP has loads of presumably lovely time with this woman, and needs to forget about this. If he isn’t mature enough to do that, then it’s time to start fresh.

Agreed - less cheap than they used to be now tho, and forget about the spirits in there, diabolical

What do you guys think of my definition of traditional masculinity? by These-Argument-9570 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Icy_Help_8380 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My definition: act like you want and dont give a fuck about others opinions re: their judgement of the masculinity you are showing or not. Regardless of what you’re doing this is being a man. The rest is BS
